Chapter
3.
Syaoran opened the door and walked back to his spot on the
couch, without a word of hello to the guests. Meiling glared at him
and walked over to the door. She ushered her guests into the living
room.
"I'm sorry about my rude cousin." Meiling said giving Syaoran a cold smile. Syaoran glared at her and turned his attention to the clock. 'Once I get my secret Santa thing, I'm outta here.' Syaoran thought to himself. Meiling grabbed the black magicians hat of the coffee table and stood up. She stood in the middle of her group of friends and walked over to Chiharu, "Your first Chiharu." She said with a mischievous smile as she stuck the hat out in front of Chiharu.
Chiharu looked up at Meiling with a nervous smile, "I guess so." She said as she stuck her hand into the hat. She closed her eyes tightly and moved her hand around in the hat. 'I hope I get Mikey!' She thought to herself as she pulled out a tiny slip of paper. She slowly opened, "YESS!" She exclaimed happily. Everyone looked at her.
"WHO'D YOU GET!" Sakura asked excitedly. Everyone blinked twice at her.
Syaoran let out an annoyed groan, "Don't you know the meaning of SECRET?" He asked angrily. Sakura glared at him, she opened her mouth to argue when Syaoran spoke up again, "Just hurry up Meiling. Your Green Eyed Frog--- I mean friend is annoying me." Syaoran said giving Sakura a sly smile.
Sakura glared at him, crossing her arms over her chest. Meiling let out a sigh and walked over to Mikey. "Your next." She said sticking the hat out in front of Mikey. Mikey snickered and pulled up his jacket sleeve. He dug his hand into the hat, he moved his fingers around as he looked up at Chiharu. 'Chiharu… Chiharu…' He said to himself in his mind as he took out a slip of paper.
He opened the slip of paper and looked at Chiharu, he grinned and put the paper into his pockets of his baggy pants. Meiling then walked over to Sazuki, she smiled and put the hat forward, "Ohh! I'm so nervous!" Sazuki exclaimed as she stuck her hand into the hat and closed her eyes. Syaoran groaned, '3 people down, 4 more to go.' Syaoran thought to himself as he glanced at the clock, it was 12:30 pm. Sazuki grabbed a piece of paper and slowly opened it. She smiled, 'Eee! I got my best friend! Meiling!' She thought to herself as she put the paper into her pocket.
Meiling then walked over to Ken, "Your up." She said, sticking out the hat in front of Ken. Ken simply nodded and stuck his hand into the hat. He quickly pulled out a name and read it. He smiled and jammed the paper into his jacket pocket. Syaoran let out a sigh, 'At least someone was fast.' He thought as he watched Eriol pick out a name in the hat. Eriol stuck his hand into the hat and quickly pulled out a name. 'Great. I got a girl. What the heck do you get a girl for Christmas! They're so hard to shop for!' He thought angrily to himself as he jammed the slip of paper into his pocket.
Tomoyo was next. She smiled sweetly at Meiling and stuck her hand into the hat. She quickly took out a piece of paper and then read it. 'This is just wonderful. I got some guy! What the heck do you get a guy for Christmas!' She thought to herself, as she forced a smile on her face. Meiling then walked over to her rude, obnoxious, and conceited cousin. She thrust the hat angrily at his chest. Syaoran let out a surprised cough and glared at her. "PICK." Meiling said demandingly. Syaoran grabbed a name, but before he even got a chance to read it, Meiling walked over to Sakura. Sakura grabbed a name. "I guess I get whoever is left." Meiling said, grabbing the last name in the hat.
Syaoran instantly stood up, "Ok, so that's done. Lets go Eri---"
"Err, Miss Meiling, I was just informed by the guards outside, that there is a terrible snow-storm. I'm afraid, no-one," The maid paused and looked at Syaoran, "Is allowed to leave until the storm blows over." She finished. Syaoran stared at her, his mouth wide open.
"NO!" He yelled, he dropped to the floor dramatically.
Meiling thanked the maid, and then walked over to Syaoran, "Shut up you big baby." She said coldly, "Ok, since we're all stuck here, we might as well get to know each other, since any of us could get one of my boneheaded cousins for their Secret Santa." Eriol raised an eye-brow, "By bone-head you mean…"
Meiling let out a sigh, "I mean, one of us could have gotten my nice, and of course, better behaved cousin Eriol, or my big boneheaded, conceited maniac of a cousin Syaoran." Meiling said, giving Eriol a "are you happy now?" smile.
Eriol grinned and nodded. "But! I don't want to meet -----"
Eriol shook his head, "Shut up Syaoran, we're staying her anyways!" He said, tired of Syaoran's sarcastic remarks and annoying attitude. Syaoran glared at him and stood up.
Meiling turned on some music and asked the maid to get some food. Everyone was split into social groups, Sakura and Tomoyo were sitting near the window, talking.
"So… who'd you get Saku?" Tomoyo asked with a smile.
Sakura looked at her, "I'll tell, only if you tell me who you got." Sakura said returning the smile. Tomoyo nodded as they did a pinky-promise.
"I got that blue-haired kid… uh.. what's his name again?" Tomoyo asked, as she took out her Secret Santa paper to double-check his name. Sakura sweat-dropped, "Oh yeah! Eriol!" Tomoyo said with a laugh. Sakura fell-back anime style. "Ok, your turn." Tomoyo said.
Sakura blinked twice at her, "Oh uh. Wait. I didn't even open it yet." She said, taking out the paper from her jean pocket. She slowly opened it, "I got…"
---
"So Syaoran, who'd you get?" Eriol asked, taking a sip of his coke.
Syaoran drank some of his Pepsi, "Who'd you get?" he asked.
Eriol let out a groan, "Tomoyo. You?" He asked drinking more of his coke.
Syaoran shrugged and pulled out the piece of paper. His mouth dropped open into an O-shape. His eyes met with the girl in a pink shirt's emerald ones. They stared at each other from across the room. Sakura was the first to back away from the stare, she turned towards Tomoyo, "I GOT … OH MY GOD. HIM!" Sakura said with disgust as she pointed a finger at Syaoran.
Syaoran sunk to the floor, "THIS CAN'T BE HAPPENING!" He yelled angrily. Eriol looked down at him, "I GOT HER!" Syaoran said pointing at Sakura with the same amount of disgust that Sakura had.
